Canadian racer Rupert Bragg-Smith built the first road course at the Pahrump site in 1998, establishing the foundation of the present facility. In 2004, Bragg-Smith sold the property to John Morris, who undertook a substantial expansion into a full resort and country club. Morris, alongside co-owner Brad Rambo, developed the property into its current form: a multi-configuration circuit complex with on-site accommodation, full club membership infrastructure, and an in-house race shop.
The property accommodates multiple track configurations to serve different user groups. The full-length layout stretches 6.100 miles (9.817 km) with 15 turns, making it the longest road course in North America. Shorter configurations ranging from approximately 1.5 to 2.4 miles are used for driving school programmes, allowing instructors to tailor circuit complexity to participants' experience levels. Custom layouts are also available to members and clients booking private track time. The remote setting in the valley outside Pahrump provides reliably dry desert conditions and the space for a circuit of this scale without the noise and scheduling constraints affecting more densely populated facilities.
Two factory-backed high-performance driving programmes form the public-facing core of Spring Mountain's business.
The Ron Fellows Performance Driving School operates as the Official High Performance Driving School of Corvette. It offers two-day and three-day programmes as well as private one-on-one instruction, with students driving Corvette C7 models. General Motors offers subsidised enrollment pricing to purchasers of new Corvette models, making Spring Mountain a destination for many Corvette owners as part of the vehicle ownership experience.
The Cadillac V-Performance Academy serves as the Official High Performance Driving School of Cadillac, offering a two-day programme built around the Cadillac V-Series model range. The academy provides subsidised enrollment to qualifying V-Series owners and focuses on extracting the performance of Cadillac's high-performance variants in a controlled track environment.
Spring Mountain Racing, the facility's on-site maintenance and preparation operation, supports club members running Radical and Wolf race cars. These purpose-built competition machines are stored at or near the facility and used for organised club racing events alongside open track sessions. The combination of an active race shop, member-owned competition cars, and frequent track availability distinguishes Spring Mountain from a pure driving school and gives it the character of a working race club where members develop genuine competition skills on a full-scale circuit.
The facility has hosted sanctioned professional motorsport events in recent years. The Porsche Sprint Challenge North America USA West series ran at Spring Mountain in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Trans-Am West Coast Championship visited the track in 2023 and 2024. The Radical World Finals were held at the circuit in 2022, bringing the global Radical one-make series championship conclusion to the Nevada desert venue.
